    Nanoco, Merck Sign Agreement on Eco-Friendly Quantum Materials for Displays

    Merck will market Nanoco’s material to its customer base in the display industry.

    08.01.16
    Nanoco Group plc and Merck announced the signing of a worldwide material supply and licensing agreement. The licence allows Merck to immediately start marketing Nanoco’s cadmium-free quantum dots and to ultimately establish its own production facility to meet growing market demand.
     
    “The agreement is in line with Merck’s strategy to sustainably secure its position as the global market and technology leader in display materials. With cadmium-free quantum dots a remarkable increase in the colour range and a significant reduction in power consumption can be achieved. These cadmium-free quantum dots are eco-friendly and also complement our product portfolio for the display industry,” said Walter Galinat, member of the Merck Executive Board and CEO of Performance Materials. “The licence agreement with Nanoco will strengthen our position in quantum materials research, for which we laid the foundations by acquiring Qlight Nanotech of Israel last year.”
     
    The financial details of the agreement are not being disclosed, but Nanoco will receive a licence fee and royalties on Merck’s sales of the Nanoco cadmium-free quantum dots Merck manufactures. In line with Nanoco’s commercialization strategy in the display market, this agreement is non-exclusive.
     
    Merck will begin marketing Nanoco’s technology in the near term by selling cadmium-free quantum dots manufactured at Nanoco’s expanded production plant in Runcorn, UK. The licence allows Merck to establish its own production facility for cadmium-free quantum dots in line with global market demand at a later point in time.
     
    “This agreement with Merck is another major endorsement of the world-class quality of our cadmium free quantum dot technology,” said Michael Edelman, Nanoco’s CEO. “We are convinced that Merck can leverage its position in the display industry with these innovative materials.”
     
    Quantum materials offer a substantial additional benefit when they are used as color converters in the light source of liquid crystal displays. In conventional displays, the colors blue, green, and red are filtered out of the original white light of the LED light source. A great deal of light is lost in this process. Because a blue LED in combination with red and green quantum materials only generates the blue, green and red light that is perfectly transmitted through the filters, there is much less absorption. This increases the display’s brightness, reduces electricity consumption and leads to much purer and potentially stronger colors.
